Grover – My Wild Life – Review

July 1, 1995

My Wild Life is strong and pleasing. If I’m forced to choose, though, “Yeah, I’m Dumb” and “Hole In My Eye” are the most infectious.

Glue Gun – “Marzipan” / “Girlfriend” – Review

July 1, 1995

Better at 45 rpm. The Missing Persons squeaks give it some spark, but that’s it. Give it a miss.

Ron Geesin – Land of Mist – Review

July 1, 1995

19 tracks of sonic landscaping, too short to assume the dubious “ambient” label, yet so inwardly oriented and self-contained, “songs” doesn’t work either.

Forty – Lightswitch EP – Review

July 1, 1995

Commercial pop-rock with a catch. Lots of talent and serious balls apparent in the songs. I like ’em.

Fledgling – Review

July 1, 1995

Majestically produced rock with driving drums and moving rhythms. Eileen Rose has a passionate voice that leads you thru the moods like the Pied Piper’s pipe.

Puddle – “Questions, Answers & Questions Again” – Review

July 1, 1995

Skating the fine line between up-tempo powerpop and punkpop, Worcester’s Puddle splashes through three new, infectiously catchy songs.

Primus – Tales From The Punch Bowl – Review

July 1, 1995

Combining top-shelf musical ability, risk-taking song formulation and psychedelic humor, Primus have created another colorful sonic picture.

Fig Dish – That’s What Love Songs Often Do – Review

July 1, 1995

Teeming with anger, the opening tracks, “Bury Me,” “Weak and Mean,” and “Seeds,” snap at your ears from the moment you hit play.

Mad – Reject – Review

July 1, 1995

Great sonic landscape intro. Goes on to a fetching, hypnotizing alterna-rock tune that tosses you around enough to keep your interest.

Everyone – 4 Slices – Review

July 1, 1995

Perfect for those who want to be hip without offending their parents.
